HELP!!! Car revs/idles around 8,000 rpm at start up!!!
I just finished my b16a2 swap into my 96 honda civic ex. When i got to start my car, the rpms redline immediately as if i was in full throttle (WOT). I cut it off immediatly to prevent any harm to my engine. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Loose intake manifold? Bad primary 02 sensor? etc. THANKS!!!!

Check the throttle body to see if there is anything keeping the throttle plate open. Happen to me once. I was like WTF! Turn out there was a rock that is hold the throttle plate open.

I took off the throttle cable and it still happens! SUCKS!!! I do have my throttle body on. I will check and see if my plate is stuck open. Also... where would i check for vacuum leaks?
oh... and YEA it was some scary S***!!! I thought i blew my engine but i did a compression test, same results as before start up
